We are what we pretend to be,
so we must be careful what we pretend to be.

If you can do a half-assed job of anything,
you’re a one-eyed man in a kingdom of the blind.
Beware of the man who works hard to learn something,
learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.
I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around,
and don’t let anybody tell you different.
How nice–to feel nothing,
and still get full credit for being alive.
True terror is to wake up one morning
and discover that your high school class is running the country.
Just because some of us can read and write and do a little math,
that doesn’t mean we deserve to conquer the Universe.
Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion.
I myself prefer to laugh,
since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.
I guess this, coupled with Rodney Dangerfield’s death, puts an end to any chance of Back To School 2
